The Jersey City Police Department has been served with notices of two potential $15 million lawsuits alleging cops could have prevented the death of a 3-month-old who was in his mother's arms when she was pushed from a third-floor window.

Frederico Bruno, 19, is charged with killing his son, Damien, and attempting to murder the child's mother, Saydee Lee Figueroa, 20, who was stabbed and broke bones in the fall into a Rutgers Avenue yard on July 27.

He is also charged with attempting to murder Figueroa's friend, Madelyn Calderon, 21, who authorities say was stabbed in the arm and neck with a knife and meat cleaver.

The notices of claims -- one filed by Figueroa on behalf of her child, the other filed by Calderon -- say Bruno walked into a city police station shortly before the attack and asked an officer if there was a warrant for his arrest.

He was allowed to leave, the claim says, even though there were warrants against him based on recent domestic violence charges at the Rutgers Avenue apartment.

A temporary restraining order had also been issued and the notices allege police failed to serve him with the order.

Other defendants named in the notices of claim include Police Chief Tom Comey, police investigators and Bruno.

Jersey City Counsel Bill Matsikoudis said today that he had no comment on the filings.

Bruno said he had no ID and as an officer reached for a piece of paper to write down his information, Bruno walked out, Police Deputy Chief Peter Nalbach said at the time.

But the notice of claims say Bruno was told by an officer that information about whether there was a warrant was not available at the police station. He was directed to contact the Warrant Squad and then he was allowed to leave, the notices says.

The notices of claims allege the July 27 attack would not have occurred if police had done their job and arrested Bruno. In August, police told the Jersey Journal that officers had gone to a number of locations attempting to serve Bruno, but had not found him.

With the filing of the notices, Evelyn Padin, the women's attorney, now has three years to file lawsuits.

Bruno stabbed Calderon and Figueroa multiple times as the mother may have been shielding the baby, officials said. Bruno then shoved the mother and child with such force that an air conditioner unit, Figueroa and the baby plummeted from a window, police said.

Bruno then descended the fire escape to the yard and beat Figueroa with a piece of lawn furniture before fleeing, police said. A tip led to Bruno's arrest in Belleville, police said.

Although Bruno is being held on a $1 million bail, hearings are ongoing to make permanent the TRO. A hearing to be held last week was adjourned because a mix-up resulted in Bruno not been transported to court. It was rescheduled for Jan. 4.

"As far as I'm concerned, he can rot in hell, said Figueroa's mother, Haydee Morales, after the canceled hearing.

Asked if Figueroa still feared for her life, Padin said "Absolutely. Who wouldn't?"
